the body will build muscle at almost any age if the diet is sufficient in nutrients and calories. it just takes a little longer with decreased levels of circulating androgens.

Great question - as long as you exercise you will add muscle mass. The body is constantly rebuilding itself and if you have the correct body building program you can build muscles at any age.

Absolutely--I don't have the references here, but studies with people much older than 49 have shown muscle growth.

Yes. If you start working out, you will build up your muscles.

YES. I'm 50 and my muscle tone and condition is better than it was at 21.

Yes but depending on the person, probably at a slower rate. Your recovery time will be slower with age.
